My 14 yr old son and I have reciently caught the hammock camping (both HH Explored deluxe zip)bug and love it, and getting into it so late in the year we have found out about the cold issues with no bottom insulation. We would like to continue with camping into the cooler fall season as fall is our favorite time of year. We have been using our thermorests that we used for the tent but they are a real pain. I have looked at under quilts and would like to buy us each one but the price is keeping me from doing that. I just can not justify spending that kind of cash right now to buy one, let alone two. I realize that an underquilt would be the best idea but it's just not going to happen, so I have switched my focus to the HH supershelter. I have been reading reviews and see that there are lots of mixed feelings about them. I realy like the fact that the under cover mirrors the whole bottom of the hammock with the hammock tied out as I like alot of room to move around. Now from what I have read the under pad only covers a small area beneath you and I would like it to cover more. On the HH site they sell replacement undercovers only. My question is how tight does the undercover fit to the bottom of the hammock and can it be adjusted to fit looser (if looser is a word. lol). Would it be possible to put a sleeping bag between the Hammock and the UC with out compressing the sleeping bag too much. BTW weight and bulk is not an issue for the camping I do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I just gotta say that this hammocking thing is realy addicting.
